I don’t see any benefit truthfully. It feels like bullying all the way around. We’re using a young woman as a punchline to laugh at other people? For the record, I think posing the headline as a question “should Sidney be canceled?” Is salacious enough without calling for it disingenuously

Then you must surely oppose every time Fox News poses the "just asking questions" narrative as well i assume. For the record, asking questions isn't wrong if you're actually trying to get answers. And this is a question that deserved one. And who are you claiming is a punchline here??

I oppose Fox News full stop? Are you under the impression I’m not a leftist? I agree asking questions isn’t wrong at all. Where is the question being asked. I see statements. Like you mentioned, we need to check anyone’s bad takes right? In my opinion, setting the article up this way is a bad take

That's a fair take. I think setting the article up a different way is more moral, but does not achieve the same results. In this specific case, I think the ends of informing those most likely to be drawn to this article justify the means of being momentarily initially deceptive.

Thank you. Do you honestly believe that the people who need to be called out for that hypocrisy would both take the time to click on the article and then read the article to glean the point that does undoubtedly lie within? I do not. That’s the whole problem for them in the first place.

Aaaaaand there it is, you've changed my mind lol. Mark it on your calendar for the next time someone says internet arguments don't matter lol. Cause you're absolutely right, the people who read that article will most likely not have their mind changed because of it. But we do need to change it...

I fully agree. I’ve been following Charlotte for a while and generally enjoy her content. This missed the mark and that’s fine, but I agree with what you said about holding everyone accountable. Thanks for a good conversation! Hope you can build that better world, I’d like to relax for once

Appreciate it! Sadly, I don't think the better world includes you relaxing too much, because until we can actually have trustworthy elected leaders, we ALL need to be engaged I'm building out my network here if you want to check it out, I'm working on voter reform rn www.reddit.com/r/polls_for_...
